Twitter comps - waste of time entering or not ??

Options
Well I have just hit my 5,000th retweet for Twitter comps and not 1 single Twitter win

Are entering Twitter comps a waste of time - or is it I have just been unlucky .......... I only use my Twitter account to retweet comps

  • I only use twitter for comps as well. I have won a few, but not a lot. I continue as they are so easy to enter.
  • There's just less chance to win because Twitter comps are so easy to enter.

    I'm almost at my 25,000th tweet and I've had quite a few wins. My latest being a £90 Kodak camera.

    I think they're worth entering because they hardly take any time to enter. It's up to you but you've got to enter to have a chance so giving up won't help
    :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    I'm on my 12,000th tweet - My latest was an Xbox...

    So you just have to keep searching, following and entering. :) x

    75 wins this year (mostly smaller wins) and that's on and off comping due to work.

    It can be done! x

    I enter loads of twitter comps, but have only ever won one, which was a £20 M&S voucher.

  • When you enter do you just press the retweet button?
  • I've had around 7 twitter wins in total - all small prizes but it takes hardly any time to enter for simple retweet comps so I think it's worth it. I've also been informed of a couple of my wins through twitter that I won from blogs. Keep going, I'm sure you will get a win soon! :)

    I've won quite a few times on twitter, mostly smaller prizes (£30 and under)
    My mum won a £150 Debenhams voucher last week on twitter and it was one of her first comps entered!

    could be one of two ways. Either an @ mention, or by a DM.
